When is Earth Day celebrated?

before or after April 22. Many communities also celebrate Earth

April.

Earth Day?

environmental programs, rekindles public commitment, and involves a

can I do for Earth Day?
Since April 22, 1970, Earth Day has been an annual event for
people around the world to celebrate the earth and our

Do something nice for the earth, have fun, meet new people, and
make a difference.

Day is every day -- to build a better future for the
